Summary: Anthropic just dropped Claude Computer Use and it's a proper shift. As of last night, Claude can now take full control of your Mac, not just Chrome, not just a sandboxed virtual machine, but your actual computer. It opens apps, navigates your file system, clicks around desktop software, the lot. If you've been following Open Claw, this is essentially that functionality baked directly into the Claude ecosystem, minus the terminal setup, minus the security headaches, minus the afternoon you'd lose tinkering instead of working. You toggle it on in the desktop app and you're away. I've been playing with it all morning and it's genuinely impressive how seamless it feels.
What's really striking though is the pace Anthropic are shipping at right now. Two or three features a week since January. Cowork, Opus 4.6, dispatch, channels, remote control, scheduled tasks, computer use, it's relentless. Meanwhile Open Claw's creator has been hired by OpenAI and we've seen precisely nothing from that side. Perplexity Computer costs $200 a month and just got made redundant overnight. The big picture here is simple: we're moving from chatting with AI to AI actually doing things for us, and Anthropic are leading that charge by a comfortable margin. If you haven't explored what agents can do yet, now's probably the time.
